Use a higher proof bourbon that can stand up to the ginger, explains Romo.
I recommend something that is at least 90-proof.
Usefresh produce, especially mint, says Jennifer Jackson, Beverage Manager forThompson Restaurants.
If your mint is a little tired and lackluster, fill a rocks glass with ice and water.
Jackson also advises being gentle when making your mule.
Dont over-muddle your lime and mint leaves, she adds.
Just a few presses to release the juice and mint oil is plenty.
For a twist on a Kentucky mule, feel free to experiment by adding other ingredients.
Add fresh berries or fruit to your mule.
I likeblackberriesorpeaches, shares Romo.
They complement both the bourbon and ginger.
Jackson, on the other hand, is a fan of addinghoneyor ginger to her Kentucky mule recipe below.
As she points out, what you add depends on your palate.
This will give you a beautiful minty fragrance each time you take a sip, enhancing your cocktails.

Add Bourbon, lime juice, and a large scoop of ice.
Give the shaker a hard few shakes and strain the mixture into a copper mug.
Top with ginger beer and stir.
Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wedge, and enjoy!
